List of Stavanger Oilers seasons
Wikimedia list article
The Stavanger Oilers are a Norwegian ice hockey club based in Stavanger. They are members of the highest Norwegian ice hockey league, Eliteserien (known as GET-ligaen for sponsorship reasons). The Oilers were founded in 2000 by Hartti Kristola and other Finnish expatriate workers who wanted to play ice hockey at a professional level. After the demise of Viking IK in 1996 and the financial woes of successors Viking Hockey, the Oilers soon became the leading team in Stavanger. As of 2017, they have completed fourteen seasons in the Eliteserien, winning 359 regular season games and achieving nine top-three finishes.
Stavanger started out in the 2. divisjon (third tier) in 2001–02, earning successive promotions to the 1. divisjon and then Eliteserien over the next two years. They qualified for the playoffs in their first season in Eliteserien, losing out in the semi-finals to would-be champions Storhamar. Since then, the Oilers have made the playoffs every season.

Why this record matters
“List of Stavanger Oilers seasons” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, List, Stavanger and Oilers provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q25431307. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2000, 1996, 2017 and 2001.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
